ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys could not have made a better statement in contradiction of the Philadelphia Eagles than they did on their Good drive Sunday night.
Ten plays, 75 yards, 5 minutes and a Dak Prescott-to-CeeDee Lamb touchdown pass to take a 7-0 lead.

Prescott missed just one pass on the power, but ended it with his 27th touchdown throw of the season by activities what has become commonplace -- buying time with his feet.
Spinning out of the pocket, Prescott was able to lead Lamb on third and 2 into the end zone for new third-down conversion. It's just the third time the Cowboys have scored a touchdown on their Good possession of the game this season.
And Lamb was able to match new No. 88 in franchise history with a touchdown grab in his fifth conventional game. The last Cowboy to do that was Dez Bryant in 2013.
The Cowboys been in control during the first half, putting their third TD on the boarding in the final minute before teams headed to the locker room. Prescott groundless Michael Gallup for a 1-yard pass, giving Dallas a 24-6 lead.
Their binary touchdown came earlier in the second quarter on a 1-yard rush by RB Rico Dowdle.
